I picked up an 89 325i 5 speed in mid August. I've been working at fixing things up cosmetically and mechanically. When I got the car it head been hit at some point below the rear bumper. I know the metal is part of the body so it's something that can't just be swapped off another car. My question I suppose is if anyone has an idea of what it would cost to have it repaired by a body shop. Or if the section can be cut out and a new piece of metal welded in. I've also been considering a rear apron like the M-Tech II or ACS since that would cover the area. But if I went that route I feel like just the apron out of a whole body kit would look incomplete and it's not in the budget right now to get a whole kit. I'd just like some feedback, advice, input, or whatever.

It's kind of hard to tall from this but the middle is kind of flared out too. It's out of proportion I assume that was the result of the corner being hit.
There's not really any rust below the batter tray where the dent is. You can see there's a small hole bottom left as the result of being hit.
Thanks for help.
